Season 2 (2009)

On August 17, 2007, HBO announced a second season for Flight of the Conchords, set to premiere in 2008[3] and was confirmed to return in the Fall of 2008 during an HBO promo of the show following a movie on September 23, 2008. It was postponed until January 2009 because of the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike. HBO had announced that it wished to bring back the show for a third season, however this was dependent upon the group's ability to come up with new songs/parodies for the episodes before they could make a commitment. The second season, however, was the last one produced.

The first episode of the second season was released online to US residents at Funny or Die on December 17, 2008.[4]
